At last count I think there were thousands of identified christian sects, probably mostly minor revisions, but that does allow for a bit of variation. A history of assimilation sounds like a likely sourc, I know there is a perfect word for it (searching memory). And there are the gnostics to consider, myself I have seen enough variation on the schools of thought to consider it a potentially dynamic religion depending on the person.

Lee, I don't really know anything about Sikhism, is there something really cool about it you could share, maybe what sets it apart in your view?

    Ohh I don't know about arrogant Allan.  I think it's more like they
    have painted themselves into a corner.  You can't change the word of
    God (read bible) so you must bend it and manipulate it to mean what
    you say it means.  Unless of course you have the power to change it
    like our very own King James or that reprobate Constantine.  Now of
    course if we get a liberal Pope, perhaps one day, but I really do
    think that the death knell for Christianity has started to sound,
    unless they move quickly.

    In other news I saw a report on the news the other day that said
    those in the UK who proclaim no religious faith now stands at 25%
    that is a 10% increase since last year.  Honestly although a lot of
    us here proclaim membership of the Anglican church, I think a great
    deal of it is lip service, and once those above my generation start
    to die out, we'll see this % number increase.

        but that would take an actual evolution in beliefs rather than
        administrative changes..  but christianity is far to arrogant to do
        that..  they have a problem saying they made a mistake.

        shopping on sunday is an administrative type change..
